AkzoNobel Pulp and Performance Chemicals (formerly Eka Chemicals) has developed a new business strategy and management team that became effective April 1, 2012. The name change reflects a move of focus within the business strategy, in which technologies and global markets form the basis for future growth.
AkzoNobel is investing €5 million in its Pulp and Paper Chemicals business, Eka Chemicals, to continue developing and implementing its technical platform for global operations management, Eka Process Information (EPI).
Eka Chemicals and Wetend Technologies Ltd have agreed to market and deliver TrumpJet® Flash Mixing Systems together with Eka’s wet end chemicals to the paper industry globally.
Eka Chemicals, the AkzoNobel Pulp and Paper Chemicals business will increase prices across its entire European Paper and Bleaching Chemicals product range with immediate effect, or as contracts permit.
